    I hate you so much right now...

    I had to give my love to DoTT, though I'm just absolutely sick that I had to vote against The Green Mile.

    So far, this has been the hardest poll of this round. I had to go with Green Mile, but on another day I might have gone the other way.

    This is very tough. But since I just finished a re-read of The Drawing of the Three within the last year; I'd have to answer "which would I rather re-read" as being The Green Mile.

    Ask me again next year and you might get a different answer.

    I'm still pissed off about having to choose. Seriously, these are two books I could read over and over and never get tired of them.

    BAD challenge.

    Why not? It's an amazingly deep and well-written novel. The ending made me cry. No other book did that, ever.

    I cry every damn time I read it, and I know what's going to happen already.

    i vote for DOTT over green mile only because of the conversation MIB has with Roland about all the universes and such.
    I have many leather bound books.
    I'm kind of a big deal.

    Drawing of the Three. There wasn't really anything about the Green Mile that captivated me in the way the Dark Tower did.
    All hail the King;
    He of the Crimson Eye,
    The Lord of Spiders.
    Hail Discordia.
